Examine whether the following statement is true or false:
$\{a\} \in \{a, b, c\}$
$\{a\} \in \{a, b, c\}$
(B) False.
The elements of the set $\{a, b, c\}$ are $a, b,$ and $c$.
An element $x$ belongs to a set $A$ if $x \in A$.
Here,$\{a\}$ is a subset of $\{a, b, c\}$,not an element of it.
Therefore,the correct statement is $\{a\} \subset \{a, b, c\}$.
The elements of the set $\{a, b, c\}$ are $a, b,$ and $c$.
An element $x$ belongs to a set $A$ if $x \in A$.
Here,$\{a\}$ is a subset of $\{a, b, c\}$,not an element of it.
Therefore,the correct statement is $\{a\} \subset \{a, b, c\}$.
